The Incredible Hulk, Samson, and Superman are just a few of the names synonymous with strength and power. According to new Alabama offensive coordinator Nick Sheridan, redshirt junior offensive lineman Jaeden Roberts belongs in that group.
On Tuesday afternoon, once the Crimson Tide wrapped up its seventh practice of the spring, Coach Sheridan would field questions from local reporters. When asked about Roberts, Sheidan’s face lit up like a Christmas tree.
“What a great kid, talk about a worker,” Sheridan told reporters. “Strong, extremely strong. I think he’s building on the foundation he has, with the experiences he has had, but a great kid. A joy to coach and tough and hard-working and strong. Did I mention strong? J-Rob is strong and an awesome kid. We’re glad he’s on our side.”
Standing at 6-foot-5, 315 pounds, Roberts has the ideal size to combine with his incredible strength making him a desirable option on the interior of the Alabama offensive line.
Roberts started nine games for the Tide in 2023 and was arguably one of the biggest surprises on offense last season.
It’s clear that Roberts has quickly earned the respect of the new coaching staff and should play an impactful role for the Crimson Tide in 2024.
